I would comment on that, to tell you that your wrong, but i can't because i
don't have enough information to support my evedince. But i do know that the
lig is not there JUST to hold the red it is there to allow the vibration go
through the reed, from tip to the end of the reed, that is what makes a lig a
lig, or well something like that.
